Ghoul:
potvrđeno je - ove godine nagradu za životno delo dobija glavni gost grosmana, UDO KIR!



uz sve poštovanje i ljubav prema njemu, moram reći da sa još većom radošću i nestrpljenjem očekujem jednog drugog gosta (tj. dvojicu) - sa najsnažnijim 'ghoul pečatom' od svih dosadašnjih gostiju na ovom festivalu - ali njegovo ime još ne smem da obznanjujem.


do tada, UDO!






Udo Kier is Coming to Ljutomer
With great pride and joy we announce that this year's guest of honour and receiver of Honorary Vicious Cat will be the legendary German actor Udo Kier, one of the most iconic faces of world cinema. In his amazing career he appeared in over 200 films, from low-budget horror and erotic films to celebrated arthouse films and Hollywood blockbusters. He collaborated with directors such as Dario Argento, John Carpenter, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Lars von Trier, Wim Wenders, Gus van Sant and Paul Morrissey.
 
 Udo Kier was born in 1944 in Cologne. At the age of 18 he moved to Britain to learn foreign languages. It was there where he met director Michael Sarnewho offered him his first role in short film Road to Saint Tropez (1966). After returning to Europe and acting in films Schamlos (1968) and Season of the Senses (1969) he made his horror film debut in Michael Armstrong’s 1970 cult classic Mark of the Devil. He was definitely propelled into stardom when a chance meeting with Warhol’s director Paul Morrissey resulted in lead roles in his legendary art-horror films Flesh for Frankenstein(1973) and Blood for Dracula (1974). Numerous cult hits followed, such as The Story of O (1975), dark thriller Exposé (aka House on Straw Hill, 1976), offbeat sci-fi comedySpermula (1976), Argento’s classic horror Suspiria (1977) and Fassbinder’s drama Lili Marleen (1981). With the 1988 film Medea he started his fruitful collaboration with Lars von Trier, who has included him in virtually each of his subsequent movies. After Gus van Sant’s My Private Idaho (1991) he starred in numerous Hollywood blockbusters, such asAce Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Armageddon (1998), Blade (1998) and End of Days(1999). During this period, fans of the fantastic were able to see him in TV horror filmCigarette Burns (2005), made by John Carpenter for the Masters of Horror series,Halloween remake (2007), horror anthology The Theatre Bizarre (2011) and independent sci-fi hit Iron Sky (2012), to name just some of them. Sequel to Iron Sky is also one of his numerous upcoming films.
 
 Of course, there will be a selected retrospective of his films, as well as a Master Class at the Main Square. More info coming soon!

sad je i zvanično pa smem da obznanim - napokon sam ove godine uspeo da izdejstvujem sledeće:

Richard Stanley is Coming to Grossmann 2015

We are very happy to announce the arrival of director and screenwriter Richard Stanleyto this year’s Grossmann Festival where he will head the Vicious Cat jury.




Richard Stanley is one of the last true mavericks of horror cinema. He tested his craft in several shorts and in music videos forFields of the Nephilim and Public Image Limited before he brought a fresh and uniquely apocalyptic vision in his feature debut,Hardware (1990). Hardware's success led to Dust Devil(1992), a true masterpiece of the supernatural disguised behind horror's most despised subgenre, slasher. But slasher is here a mask, just like SF was inHardware. Behind it lies a metaphysical questioning of the roots of material and spiritual existence, dressed in imagery borrowed and shapeshifted from Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns and Tarkovsky's surreal ruminations.
 
 Stanley's restless spirit took him all over the world in search for the meaning behind the veils of appearances. In vivo, and through his documentaries, he has investigated various esoteric traditions: Afghanistan mountain folklore in Voice of the Moon (1990), Nazi occultism and its links with the legends of the Holy Grail and the Cathars in The Secret Glory (2001), Haitian voodoo practices in The White Darkness (2002) and, ultimately, a further investigation of the Cathar beliefs in The Otherworld (2014).
 
 Two segments in recent horror anthologies, "The Mother of Toads" in The Theatre Bizarre (2011) and "Coltan" in the still unreleased The Profane Exhibit (2015?), signal his return to filmmaking which should come in fool bloom with his announced feature length adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space.
 
 We will pay tribute to this unique filmmaker with a special retrospective of his films and a screening of David Gregory's documentary Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau. There will also be a special master class, moderated by Serbian writer and critic Dejan Ognjanović who has also contributed an in-depth article on Stanley for our website and program booklet which was partly used in this news.

The Otherworld nije 2014 (nešto sa Keltima), nego 2013.

Simon Boswell at Grossmann 2015

With much joy we announce the arrival of film score composer Simon Boswell to this year's Grossmann where we will together celebrate 30 years of his work in cinema.


Simon Boswell (born in London in 1956) has left and indelible mark on horror genre through numerous memorable and now-classical scores from the 1980s and 1990s in which he combined electronic elements with orchestral instruments.

He was an accomplished musician by the time he started his film career in 1985, when several of his themes were used in Dario Argento's Phenomena. This led to his first composer credit, for Argento-produced Demons 2 (1986) directed by Lamberto Bava; he did several more scores for Bava Jr. and other Italian horror directors, most notably for Michele Soavi's debut Stage Fright (1987).
His wonderful scores added grandeur and beauty to visionary works of several auteurs known for their unique style, like Alejandro Jodorowsky (Santa Sangre, 1989), Clive Barker (Lord Of Illusions, 1995), Álex de la Iglesia (Perdita Durango, 1997) and Juraj Jakubisko (Bathory: Countess of Blood, 2008).
A special part of Boswell's career is linked with the director Richard Stanley: his haunting, melodic tunes have become inextricable from this director's films Hardware (1990) and Dust Devil (1992), but they also add the mystical mood to all of Stanley's documentaries, too.
This composer is not devoted only to horror and fantastique: he contributed remarkable scores for Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave, and also for Hackers, Photographing Fairies, A Midsummer Night's Dream and dozens of others.

In 2015 Simon Boswell celebrates 30 years of his work in cinema: a perfect timing to reunite him with his long-time inspirator, Richard Stanley, and greet them both on Grossmann! Besides a special retrospective, there will also be a master class, moderated by Serbian writer and critic Dejan Ognjanović who has also contributed an in-depth article on Boswell for our website and program booklet which was used in this article.
